Title: Data processing apparatus for producing  programming information
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 1971-12-17
Abstract: 1327962 Data processing INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 17 Dec 1971 [18 Dec 1970] 58839/71 Heading G4A A digital electric data processor is adapted to produce a customized computer program from questionnaire responses. A general purpose data processor (Fig. 1, not shown) executes the procedures shown in Fig. 2. In a start step 30, a program model and supporting data is supplied to a central processor from a card reader, through which updating information may also be supplied. In step 32, questionnaire response and user added information are entered through the card reader and checked for accuracy and consistency. Any errors are notified through a printer. In step 33, the questionnaire data is used to select customizing instructions. The selected instructions are sorted in step 34 and then used to select and modify program statements and modules. All these steps are described in detail in Specification 1,327,961. In step 35, especially identified program information from step 32 and selected or modified statements from steps 33 and 34 are sorted into operable sequences. The sorted information and the partially customized output from step 34 that define date base records or fields are then merged and sorted into sequential arrangement by record using standard programs. In step 1100, the merged data base information is checked for internal consistency and for agreement with any prior stored record definitions. Statements embodying the merged date base information are then generated. The remainder of the especially identified program information is individually checked for validity and consistency and statements embodying the remainder are then generated. Finally in step 36, the statements from steps 35 and 1100, and the remaining partially customized output from step 34 are merged and supplied as a customized program on a deck of cards, on a disc pack or tape, or as a printout.

Title: Automatic Original Document Feeder for Electophotographic Copier
IPC: G03G21/00
Filed: 1979-12-31
Abstract: Documents to be copied are placed face up as a stack in a supply tray, and feed rollers carried by the tray are actuated to advance documents individually from the top of the stack to the inlet of the copier. A friction retarding roller engaging the bottom of the stack at the feed end is positively driven in a reverse direction to prevent the simultaneous feed of more than one document. From the inlet, the documents are fed to the imaging platen, and after copying into a receiving tray above the platen. In an alternative, semiautomatic mode, the supply tray is moved to an inoperative position and an original is manually inserted face up into the inlet. In an alternative embodiment, the feed roller is disposed below the retarding roller to feed sheets from the bottom of the stack so that the sheets are collected in the receiving tray in their original order. <IMAGE>
